I had a periodontal pocket curretted today due to swelling that occurs
from time to time. I was given local anesthesia. There is no abscess on
the tooth itself, just a chronic gum problem if I'm late on my
cleanings.

The tooth is #19 but since I got home a few hours ago, I feel pain in my
chin, more like in line with #16. I also feel pain in my temples and end
of jaw. None of this is constant but very annoying. I took 2 Advils a
few hours ago but it's still happening. I have to add that I have TMJ
especiall on that side and get these pains when I am nervous.

I would appreciate it very much if someone can tell me if this could be
radiating from the work that was done on 19 (that tooth and gum feel ok
now). I am starting to worry that another tooth may be at fault but my
x-rays are fine and it's happening now right after the work so it seems
unlikely (even the other side of my face and jaw are aching). I hope
it's just tension but would love to hear any feedback or assurance. Have
you heard this before? Thank you.
